Desert scorpion temperature question

[thedragonslapper]

To those who keep things like deathstalkers, Androctonus and Hadrurus, I was wondering how you guys manage your temperatures? Do you keep your scorps at a constant, say, 80 degrees 24/7 or do you mimic the more natural cycle of a real desert and allow the temperature to drop?

I know it can get over 100 degrees in a real desert during the day and freezing cold at night, yet most scorps come out at night to hunt. Most scorp care information I’ve read seems to suggest keeping the temps in a constant high range but that obviously doesn’t happen in nature.

My arid scorpions I keep at 85F-95F with the use of heat lamps and thermostat. Usually high 80s and/or low 90s. My night cycle is 70F-80F.
